Ginger Cookies

These cookies have a strong ginger taste...it's one of my favorite cookies. The amount of ginger can be adjusted to your tastes.

10 oz all purpose flour

3 tsp ginger

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

6 oz butter, room temp

1 1/3 cups sugar, plus more for rolling

1 large egg

1/4 cup molasses

Mix together flour, ginger, soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and molasses. Mix in flour until blended. Using a tablespoon, shape dough into balls. Roll each ball into sugar. Place on cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven, 350F, about 10 -12 mins.

Baking Times

I always hate when I'm asked "how long do I bake this". My answer will always be "until its done". Baking times given on any recipe, not just mine but on ANY recipe is just a guide. It will depend on many different things. Did you preheat, is your oven actually the right temp, what size are the pans, how thick are your pans, do you have light or dark pans, what was the temp of the batter...you get the idea.
